  • Interesting that the screen has such an aggressive curve, but the scanlines and text box are relatively straight.

    What are something you immediately took for granted and were surprised about?
  • I can handle shitty graphics, it's the framerates that really mess with me.

    I sometimes forget that some games on Switch cap at 30fps. Jumping from a 165hz display running 165fps to a 60hz display running 30fps is... a bit jarring.

    ChimeraOS 46-1 released fixing up some AMD issues, sound fix on some AYANEO & AYN devices
  • Where do all the logos of this style come from? They all look so same-y and bland. I've seen octopi, sharks, lions, eagles, bears, etc. all in this generic youtube gamer font, with bottom-of-the-barrel 'mascot' designs. Anyone else tired of this?

    Education Activists Urge Harris Not to Tap Josh Shapiro for VP
  • Ah yes, the solution is to give a few students in each poorly-funded school district the opportunity to go to a well-funded private school instead of just funding the public schools.

    The charter school grift is evolving.

    people who deliver or install things to people 's houses. what kind of odd things have you seen?
  • As a teenager, my parents would only let me have a PC if it was situated outside of my room, so naturally, I put my setup in my basement. I was excited to play games in the coolest (temp-wise) room in the house, up until the day a camel cricket decided to jump up my pants and continue to work its way up until I smashed it against myself.

    Yuck.

    The original processor
  • I like to imagine that the childbots are made in the image of the parentbots, and the childbots eventually are tasked with picking out preferred larger parts as a growing rite.

    A cool guide to staying calm (without any hacks)
  • I mean I get things like "frustrated -> take a walk" because that does help me, but I don't really have the luxury to just sleep because I'm tired...

    Too much of a good thing? Spain's green energy can exceed demand, country is looking at storing capacity or buyers to solve electricity oversupply
  • Cool to see this come up! I recently had to write a (mock) proposal regarding different efforts to store excess green energy and I had a blast reading about gravity batteries and pumped hydro. Hopefully, these projects come along sooner than later, as widespread adoption will take much longer than the first several implementations.

    Another neat tidbit I learned while researching pumped hydro is that hydroelectric dams actually use the remaining inertia of the spinning generators to pump water back up the dams, which is much like the idea of regenerative braking in EVs.

    What was your worst work mishap, accident, or oopsie?
  • For the 2nd one, better safe than sorry. You would feel like more of a dumbass if you heard a story in the news about a gas leak fire, or some other form of damage/injury/death.

    Oral-B bricking Alexa toothbrush is cautionary tale against buzzy tech
  • I just wanted to point out that Oral B's basic electric toothbrushes still range from $45-$80, so it's not quite as cheap as you say it is. Your point still stands in its entirety. The only thing that makes this product different from the $45 model is the Alexa functionality, and taking that away makes it effectively not the same product.

    how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Computer anxiety can be pretty awful. I'm in a long distance relationship as well, and when my partner's laptop broke (charger port issue) we were stuck communicating only through their phone. For a couple that likes to remotely play games together and watch media together, this is a huge roadblock.

    We ended up utilizing a (used) chromebook as a temporary solution until we were able to regain access to the laptop after repairs.

    The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith.
  • My least favorite is when people claim a deep understanding while only having a surface-level understanding. I don't mind a '70% correct' answer so long as it's not presented as '100% truth.'

    Video Game Execs Are Ruining Video Games ["introduction of layoffs to boost (company) share prices"]
  • If you do enjoy the gameplay loop of monster hunter in general, that humble bundle is very nice to have. Good value there, lots of hours to be had in both games + both DLCs.
